...OF ALL THE VALUABLE CAPITAL THE WORLD POSSESSES, THE MOST VALUABLE AND MOST DECISIVE IS PEOPLE, CADRES.  

HIS ISSUE IS DEVOTED TO ONE FAMILY, THE KOROBOVS, AN ORDINARY SOVIET FAMILY OF WORKERS. WE SHALL SEE HOW THEY GREW OUT OF THE POVERTY AND MISERY THAT FOREVER DOGGED THEM IN TSARIST DAYS TO BE MASTERS OF INDUSTRY; WE SHALL SEE HOW THESE IRON AND STEEL WDRKERS GREW TO BE METALLURGICAL ENGINEERS AND INDUSTRIAL ADMINISTRATORS; HOW THESE ONCE DOWNTRODDEN AND UNFRANCHISED SLAVES HAVE BECOME MEN OF AFFAIRS, PUBLIC FIGURES, THE PRIDE AND GLORY OF THEIR SOVIET COUNTRY. 

THEY ARE AN EPITOME OF THE STAKHANOVITES, WHO HAVE OPENED A NEW ERA IN THE HISTORY OF SOCIALIST LABOUR. 

NEVER HAS THE DIGNITY AND WORTH OF MEN AND WOMEN BEEN SO HIGHLY TREASURED AS IN THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS. THE PARTY OF LENIN AND STALIN REARS AND FOSTERS PEOPLE AS A GARDENER TENDS A YOUNG SAPLING; IT WATCHES THEIR GROWTH, ASSISTS THEM IN DIFFICULTY, AND APPLAUDS AND REWARDS THEIR SUCCESS. 

THE TALENTS LATENT IN THE PEOPLE AND CRUSHED BY TSARDOM AND CAPITALISM RECEIVED FULL SCOPE AFTER THE GREAT OCTOBER SOCIALIST REVOLUTION. IN THE PAST FEW YEARS THERE HAS ARISEN, AS STALIN RECENTLY SAID AT THE 18th CONGRESS OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION,  ...A NEW, SOVIET INTELLIGENTSIA, INTIMATELY BOUND UP WITH THE PEOPLE AND, FOR THE MOST PART, READY TO SERVE THEM FAITHFULLY AND LOYALLY.  

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF WORKERS LIKE THE KOROBOVS WHO HAVE MASTERED THE SECRETS OF TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND ARE DEVOTIG THEMSELVES HEART AND SOUL TO THE BUILDING OF SOCIALISM AND THE SERVICE OF THEIR PEOPLE. IT IS ON MEN AND WOMEN LIKE THESE THAT THE COUNTRY RELIED WHEN IT UNDERTOOK AND ACCOMPLISHED THE GIGANTIC TASKS OF THE STALIN FIRST AND SECOND FIVE-YEAR PLANS, ERECTING IN STEPPE AND TAIGA, IN WILDERNESS AND MOUNTAINS, HUGE PLANTS AND INDUSTRIAL CITIES WHICH HAVE STRENGTHENED ITS ECONOMIC MIGHT AND DEFENSIVE POWER. 

THE SOVIET PEOPLE ARE FREE, THEY HAVE BECOME THE MASTERS OF THEIR OWN DESTINY UNDER THE WISE LEADERSHIP OF LENIN AND STALIN. 

CAPITALISM CLOSES THE GATES OF LIFE TO THE MAJORITY OF YOUNG PEOPLE; IT FRUSTRATES AND DESTROYS THEIR TALENTS AND APTITUDES. SOCIALISM EXALTS PEOPLE, OFFERS WIDE SCOPE TO THEIR CONSTRUCTIVE ENERGIES, INVENTION, AUDACITY AND DARING. THIS WAS SHOWN BY THE SUCCESSFUL FULFILMENT OF THE FIRST AND SECOND FIVE-YEAR PLANS. THAT IS WHY THE SOVIET PEOPLE ARE SETTING ABOUT THE THIRD FIVE-YEAR PLAN WITH SUCH EAGERNESS 

AND ENTHUSIASM. 

THE U.S.S.R. HAS ENTERED A NEW PHASE OF ITS DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS THE PHASE IN WHICH THE BUILDING OF A CLASSLESS, SOCIALIST SOCIETY WILL BE COMPLETED AND THE GRADUAL TRANSITION BEGUN FROM SOCIALISM TO COMMUNISM. THE SOVIET PEOPLE HAVE NO DOUBTS ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS GIGANTIC COICEPTION, BECAUSE THEIR STRIVINGS ARE BEING CROWNED WITH SUCCESS, THANKS TO THE WISDOM OF THEIR TEACHER AND LEADER, RANKS PRODUCE FIRST-CLASS ORGANIZERS AND SPLENDID STAKHA
